Hello,

I'm hoping someone can take a look at the attached images to tell me if this looks like balanitis caused by candida or if it could be something else. I had a risky sexual exposure 2 months ago, so I'm worried this may be caused by herpes or chlamydia. I'm going to get tested in a few days, and i have started treatment with canestan, but I was hoping I could get a professional opinion to calm my nerves. I'm barely experiencing any itching, just patchy redness. There was specks of white stuff under my foreskin this morning even though i showered last night. Also, there are no raised bumps or anything on the shaft.

Thanks!!

    This is an old post bit wanted to share the cure i came across. I struggled with balanitis for several years. At times it was severe but is now completely cleared. The first thing to do is keep the head of the penis clean with water (not soap) and dabbing it dry, particularly before bed. This helped but the cure was undiluted organic lavender oil dripped generously under the foreskin. Lavender has powerful anti fungal properties. There is an article on lavender oil on science daily.

    From the day I started this treatment, I have had no issues 😃

    The discovery has been such a blessing, so i wanted to share it. Best wishes to all with your health
